Love Overcome by DougTaylorBand
Intro
Love Overcome. Love Overcome Love Overcome. Love Overcome
Love
Verse
A lesson I take home from school
I learned today how much I love you
I want to tell you, how you touch my soul
Whenever you’re near me it feels like home
Sitting next to me, how love distracts
Concentrate? I can’t! It’s a fact
Notion us together, it makes me high
I think of you, loves intensifies
Chorus
Today I’ll let love overcome
Today our hearts will pump as one
Today I’ll let love overcome
Melt in our love, yes overcome
Love Overcome. Love Overcome Love Overcome. Love Overcome
Love
Verse
Warm Long seconds pass the time
As I daydream, love is mine
Face to face and voice to voice
Express this love! It is my choice
Chorus
(as above Chorus)
Love
Bridge
I told my love and we said yes
We laughed together, oh what bliss
We touched today, right on the lips
Drunk in this love, sip by sip
Verse
A lesson I did learn from school
I learned today you love me too
Oh yes yeah do
Yeah love me like I love you
Chorus 3x
Today I let love overcome
Today our hearts do (beat 1x) pump as one
Today I let love overcome
Melt in our love, yes overcome………. Melt in our love overcome (last x)
and my original blog, found it
Well this week was the first time for me to have only had a week to write, record and send it off to a “real deal” professional like Rob Wells! I have written many songs in one day for myself to hear or have family and friends listen to but knowing they was a potential audience of over a hundred that were also song writers! Well it really put the process into a new perspective for me. I have been a write when my muse inspires type of songwriter. So to write a song with the guidelines as length, type of singer(not me!), sound of artist and genre was challenging indeed. To choose a topic that 13-19 year olds could relate to and believe enough to be touched emotionally when sung by a female artist was indeed not a one day song write.
I write in a very sincere and real way but how do I do that speaking from the mind of a teenager and from the view point of the teller, a female. I am no teenager and a man. The challenging part was to be that female teenager and not have it sound contrived, unfeeling or too mechanical. Luckily I was a teenager once involved with love and had sisters who also had their dramas.
So I went back in time in my mind and the amazing thing is when feelings come back they are in the here and now. Well I used that to the best of my ability. This is what came out of me, as a imagined teenaged girl. And to be honest I was a teenage boy when this lyrics based on real life happened.
I call it “Love Overcome”
